Mark of Time - Timeskip

This will be a slightly peculiar post, which will spoil chapter 29 and chapter 30 in parts, so if you would like to avoid spoilers, don't read ahead.

---

Alright, if you're still reading, you've been warned.

So, I'd like to ask people's thoughts on a timeskip. By the end of chapter 29, Jennifer will be fighting a crystal + Light affinity golem in the dungeon with Xar, on her 6th reset. She has already fought this creature in the previous reset and had died pretty quickly in the fight. This time, she lasts longer and manages to put up a fight, but still dies regardless. But the death comes with a level up for her [Glass Mage] class, which is a pretty fast level up, given that she'd just gained another one with the serpent in the dungeon.

Jennifer remembers the concept of Force leveling that magus Beritross had told her about (in case people forgot, it is a concept of leveling soldiers forcefully by putting them in life threatening situations. People die, but those that survive gain a lot of levels very quickly)  She's abusing this mechanism with her time resets, and will decide to go all in on the force level ups at the end of chapter 29.

Then chapter 30 begins like this:

30 — Overleveled

Mark of Time:

Bond of Fate (Blocked): Fated strings
Bond of Psyche (Blocked): Linked Minds

Abilities: Time Reset | Soul Anchor

Resets: 18
Integrity: 91.78%

[Class: Glass Mage] has reached level 8!

[Skill: Glass Burst] obtained!

Jennifer opened her eyes, smiling at the notification. It’d been nearly a month since she’d last gained a level and she was starting to get worried for a while. Closing her eyes, she used her [Arcane Analysis] to call for all her class notifications. A trick she’d picked up from Nathaniel during one of the resets.

[Class: Glass Mage] has reached level 5!

[Skill: Cutting Shard] obtained!

[Class: Glass Mage] has reached level 6!

[Lesser Arcane Analysis → Arcane Analysis]

[Class: Glass Mage] has reached level 7!

I had been wanting to do a timeskip power-up/training arc like this for a while, but I'm not sure if all of the grinding should be skipped or if I should spend one chapter dedicated to all the 12-13 resets Jennifer goes through in her grinding mini-arc.

Chapter 30 will deal with the consequences of her grinding, as she'll finally beat the golem and realise that it takes a toll on her soul to level up in such rapid succession. This will then shift her focus towards her blood-runes and soul-rune studies with magus orvil. 

(This is also a setup for her eventual class evolutions at level 20 and 10 respectively)
